Max Fried pitched 6 2/3 innings despite a slow start, Anthony Volpe hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the fourth inning and the host New York Yankees recorded a 7-5 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.

Max Fried is in the midst of his worst stretch in an otherwise solid first season of an eight-year contract with the New York Yankees. On Tuesday night, the Yankees hope to see the version of Fried they saw for most of the first three months when they continue a four-game series against the visiting Tampa Bay Rays.
